More quotes by Alan Rickman
I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.

Alan Rickman
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
Alan Rickman
I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
Alan Rickman
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
